but it's not a perfect fit.
The leather skin on the seat bottom is cut differently left and right, so some of the cushion maybe exposed on the outboard side, but this is really not a big deal, or something that can't be remedied with some other material from a fabric store.
The harder part is the power seat controls. They need to be repositioned which may require splicing some wires into the harness so it will fit correctly and the control unit will go where it's supposed to be. I was going to do the swap this summer but never got around to it because of time. It looks to be a 3-4 hour job to do correctly, and a bit of a nuisance.
An advantage is that the lumbar knob would be more accessible as it would be on the inboard side of the seat back instead of being up against the B-pillar.
